Fantasy in the world of crossover anime

Looking at the Japanese-style dishes in the bento box in Yu Shen Haoyu's hand, Li Meiling became even more suspicious of its origin. Of course, she couldn't say anything now; what if Yu Shen Haoyu disliked her if she did?

Hiroyu Mikami also noticed the problem, but he had to act normal. Otherwise, he'd have something to watch. It seemed he'd have to ask Tomoyo if she could make some more Chinese-style bento boxes.

Yuu had just agreed to let Tomoyo make his bento boxes, so it was impossible for him to refuse now. He could only hope that Tomoyo knew how to cook Chinese food.

After school, Hiroyuki Mikami made this request to Tomoyo. Tomoyo didn't think twice and quickly agreed. Luckily, her mother had someone teach her, and she was grateful to her mother.

When asked about Hiroyu Mikami's request for Chinese food, Tomoyo assumed that Hiroyu Mikami was from Hong Kong and usually ate Chinese food.

Having dealt with Tomoyo, Mei Ling was no longer so willing to be so easy to talk to.

Chapter Thirty-Six: The Marathon

To persuade Mei Ling not to make him a bento box, Yu Shen Haoyu tried every method imaginable, and finally got Mei Ling to give up the idea of ​​making him a bento box.

After learning that Hiroyuki Mikami preferred Chinese food, Tomoyo's tastes gradually changed. Now, Tomoyo arrives at the classroom before Hiroyuki every day, cleans his desk, and then hands him the bento she prepared.

This routine continued throughout Hiroyu Mikami's school years. Gradually, Hiroyu Mikami grew accustomed to this life, or rather, to Tomoyo's presence. Hiroyu Mikami had forgotten why he used to arrive so early, but now he arrived so early because he wanted to see the girl who cleaned his desk and prepared his lunchbox every day.

Before autumn arrived, Tomoeda Elementary School held a marathon. Mikami Hiroyu hadn't originally planned to participate, but he couldn't resist Tomoyo's pleas, and Mei Ling's competitive spirit led him to join as well. Thus, the name Mikami Hiroyu appeared on the marathon participant list.

Tomoyo walked over with her newly bought video camera and said, "Haoyu, you'd better do your best this time so I can record it all. Also, did you know that Sakura was the champion of last year's marathon?"

Yu Shen Haoyu already knew this from Mei Ling, so he nodded.

"How about you win me a championship this time?"

Yu Shenhao really wanted to complain, "Tomoyo and Sakura are your best friends, your closest friends. There's something wrong with what you're saying!"

That evening at Mikami Hiroyu's house, Mikami Hiroyu was trying to persuade Mei Ling not to participate in the marathon. Mikami Hiroyu knew that Li Mei Ling had great explosive power, but a marathon cannot be won by explosive power alone.

Mei Ling is determined to participate in this marathon, but she lacks the stamina for it. She wants to improve through training, but can stamina be improved in a short time?

With the marathon starting in just two days, how much endurance can one improve in those two days?

Mei Ling originally wanted Yu Shen Haoyu to train with her, but Yu Shen Haoyu cleverly avoided her. Li Mei Ling had no choice but to recruit Li Xiaolang and make him train with her.

After Li Meiling and Li Xiaolang had run far away, Yu Shen Haoyu appeared on their house. Watching Meiling disappear into the distance, Yu Shen Haoyu shook his head and then vanished into the air.

There haven't been any Clow Cards lately, and aside from the few he uses regularly, Yu Shen Haoyu hasn't summoned any other Clow Cards. Let's take this opportunity to go out and have some fun!

A strange sight appeared in the air: an elementary school student floating in mid-air, followed by 20 playing cards. Unfortunately, no one saw this, and if they had, they would have thought they were seeing things, since the height of an elementary school student like Yu Shenhaoyu, plus the number of playing cards, was too inconspicuous in the darkness.

Originally, Mikami Hiroyu wanted to go to Tsukimine Shrine to find Ms. Mizuki and ask when the Clow Cards would appear. However, at the entrance of Tsukimine Shrine, Mikami Hiroyu lingered for a moment before leaving. After all, it was quite late, and it wouldn't be appropriate to bother a single, beautiful female teacher at this hour.

Unbeknownst to Mikami Hiroyu, Mizuki Kaho sensed his presence as soon as he approached the vicinity of Tsukimine Shrine. She didn't invite him in, as the timing wasn't right. Soon, Mikami Hiroyu's aura left the shrine's sensing range. Mizuki Kaho smiled and decided to go to sleep.

After Mikami Hiroyu returned with the Clow Cards, he found that Mei Ling and his older brother had finished showering and were preparing to go upstairs to sleep.

They said goodnight to Mikami Hiroyu and went upstairs, exhausted. Mikami Hiroyu knew they were all tired. His brother was alright; this training was just a warm-up for him. But Mei Ling was truly exhausted. So he didn't disturb them, took out the grimoire, and the Clow Cards flew in automatically.

The marathon was fast approaching, and it's true that Mei Ling's endurance had improved significantly during the past two days of training. It seems that even last-minute cramming can be effective!

At the starting line, Mei Ling said to Xiao Ying with great confidence, "This year's championship will definitely be mine and Hao Yu's!"

Sakura gave an awkward laugh. Tomoyo, who was standing to the side with a video camera, cheered her on while giving her a look that only Hiroyu Mikami could understand.

Mikami Hiroyu knew that Tomoyo wanted him to sleep with her as soon as he discovered the Clow Cards, and also to win the marathon race.

If Hiroyu Mikami had known this would happen, he should have secretly retrieved the Clow Cards and then told Tomoyo.

Tomoyo knew that Clow Cards were appearing today because Hiroyuki Mikami accidentally let it slip. Knowing that Clow Cards were coming, Tomoyo clung to Hiroyuki's hand and begged him to let her know if he found any. Hiroyuki, charmed by her sweet talk, readily agreed.

To this end, Tomoyo even prepared a car so that she could get to the scene quickly.

Last night, Yu Shen Haoyu had a long-awaited precognitive dream about Clow Cards, but the dream was rather strange. It only gave him the clue that he was running a marathon, and nothing else. This left Yu Shen Haoyu somewhat puzzled; the clue about running a marathon was hardly different from having no clue at all.

With the PE teacher's signal of "Ready," the marathon participants began their warm-up exercises. Then, the starting gun fired, and Yu Shenhao took the lead and ran off.

Following Mikami Hiroyu were Sakura, Mei Ling, and Li Xiaolang. This was the first unit, and the main force followed behind them.

Following the teacher's guidance, Yu Shen Haoyu maintained his first position, while the positions behind him changed hands quite quickly. One moment it was Xiaoying in second place, then it might be Li Xiaolang in second place, or it might be Mei Ling in second place.

Yu Shen Haoyu was pleased to see Mei Ling achieve such results. It seemed that Mei Ling had improved a lot in those two days. However, judging from Mei Ling's breathing and footwork, he could tell that she had obtained something good from her brother. No wonder Mei Ling was able to improve so much in two days.

Soon, Hiroyuki Mikami passed by Masaki Matsumoto's doll shop. Hiroyuki Mikami waved to Masaki Matsumoto, and Masaki Matsumoto smiled and gave Hiroyuki Mikami a cheering gesture.

Not long after, Hiroyuki Mikami saw Tomoyo holding a video camera. There was a car parked behind her, so it seemed that Tomoyo really wanted to get to the scene as soon as possible.

Yuujiro and the three others quickly arrived at the turning point of this marathon race. Yuujiro realized that the marathon was already halfway through, and the Clow Cards hadn't appeared yet. Had his precognitive dream gone wrong?

Just as Mikami Hiroyu was beginning to doubt whether there was something wrong with his precognitive dreams, he suddenly sensed the magical power of the Clow Cards.

I stood still and sensed the surroundings, but found nothing.

"Brother, where's the thing I told you to bring?" Yu Shenhaoyu turned around and asked.

"I'm running a marathon, I can't possibly carry it with me. I left it with Tomoyo, so how did she find the Clow Cards?" Li Xiaolang said, panting.

Upon hearing that there were Clow Cards, Sakura and Mei Ling stopped and began to regulate their breathing.

It seems he still can't get around Tomoyo. When Mikami Hiroyu took out his phone to call Tomoyo, he only hoped that Tomoyo wouldn't bring him specially made clothes this time.

When Tomoyo heard Mikami Hiroyu take the compass that Li Xiaolang had left with her, she knew the Clow Cards had appeared. After memorizing the location, she immediately drove there.

Tomoyo arrived quickly, and when Mikami Hiroyu saw that Tomoyo had nothing else in her hands besides a video camera, he knew that he had escaped a disaster.

Mikami Hiroyu took the compass, not caring that its true owner was right beside him; after all, the owner used the same one as him. Mikami Hiroyu had also promised Tomoyo he would win the marathon, and he needed to collect this Clow Card before the rest of the group arrived to claim it.

"The Jade Emperor has decreed, the divine inkstone is in all four directions, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, thunder, wind, lightning, and thunderbolts are hereby decreed, lightly grind the thunderbolts and lightning, so be it!" As soon as the incantation was uttered, the compass gave a prompt.

The compass indicated the location was underground not far away, which puzzled Mikami Hiroyu. What kind of Clow Cards were like this? In Mikami Hiroyu's memory, there were no Clow Cards like this!

"Brother, do you know what kind of Clow Card it really is?"

Li Xiaolang shook his head, deciding not to mention Mei Ling. Yu Shen Haoyu glanced at Xiao Ying, and said, "Fine! We can ignore Xiao Ying. If Li Xiaolang doesn't know, then Xiao Ying is even less likely to know."

Sakura, seeing the disappointed look on Mikami Hiroyu's face, stuck out her tongue in a huff.

In the end, Yu Shenhao decided to try it himself. He stepped across the line and found that the surrounding scenery had changed.

It seems to be a card with the magic to divide and combine space. If so, then among the Clow Cards, only the Wheel card seems to have this ability.

).

Now that we know what card it is, things are much easier. Since you have the ability to divide space, then I have the ability to divide you.

Yu Shen Haoyu mobilized his magic, and soon a sword appeared before him. Yu Shen Haoyu took the sword in his hand and then lightly drew a line on the ground. Instantly, the surrounding scenery returned to its original state, and a ribbon-like ring appeared before everyone.

"Sakura, hurry up!" Mikami Hiroyu shouted to Sakura.

Sakura immediately released the key's seal, sealing the escaped Wheel Card. After being sealed into a playing card, it flew into Mikami Hiroyu's hand.

"What brand is it, little brother?" Li Xiaolang asked curiously.

"THELOOP"

“It’s this card, no wonder,” Li Xiaolang said, stroking his chin.

Sakura noticed that Yuuji was speaking in riddles to Li Xiaolang, and since she was also curious about the card's abilities, she asked, "What's wrong with the Wheel of Fortune? Does it have some special ability?"

Li Xiaolang carefully placed the Clow Cards aside and explained to Sakura, "The Wheel Card (THELOOP) has the magic to divide and combine spaces. We couldn't detect anything unusual in the spaces it divided, so we were all a little confused at first. But let's not talk about that now, the other students are catching up."

After finishing his speech, Mikami Hiroyu continued his marathon journey, and Sakura and Li Xiaolang followed closely behind. Mei Ling said to Sakura, "This time, Hiroyu captured the Clow Cards," and then she also started running. Tomoyo cheered them on from behind.

Since Yu Shenhao and the other three had rested for a while, the rest of the journey was quite simple.

In the end, Yu Shen Haoyu won the marathon race, Li Xiaolang and Xiaoying tied for second place, and Mei Ling came in third.

Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Piano

After the marathon, Yuujiro Yuu's daily life returned, and he has now come to enjoy this routine with Tomoyo.

Tomoyo quietly entered Mikami Hiroyu's world, and by the time Mikami Hiroyu discovered her, Tomoyo had already settled in his world, becoming an indispensable part of it.

Tomoyo now knows that Hiroyuki Mikami doesn't really like the magical combat suit she made. So she hasn't brought up the matter of him wearing the suit in front of him, which made Hiroyuki happy for a long time.

Mei Ling gradually noticed that something was off between Tomoyo and Mikami Hiroyu, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what it was.

Mei Ling originally wanted to test Zhi Shi, but Zhi Shi cleverly avoided Mei Ling's probing. By the time Mei Ling realized what was happening, Zhi Shi had already walked away.

As for asking Yu Shen Haoyu, Li Meiling didn't even consider it. Soon, Meiling turned her attention to her cousin, Li Xiaolang. This time, Li Xiaolang had learned his lesson. When asked about the fact that Zhi Shi would always look at his younger brother during class, he claimed that he hadn't seen or heard anything.

Li Xiaolang really didn't want to experience the blows of Doupai, and he knew that once he spoke out, the retribution wouldn't just be limited to Doupai; he'd probably face the wrath of those destructive players using other cards like Power Cards and Sword Cards.

When Mei Ling heard that her cousin was overthinking things, and since she couldn't find anything wrong, she gave up asking further questions.

As for Sakura, she didn't seem to have noticed anything. Li Xiaolang only knew that Tomoyo would watch Mikami Hiroyu during class; Sakura didn't know much either. She only knew that Tomoyo's tastes seemed to have changed. The dishes she used to like were no longer in her lunchboxes, and instead, she had been given more Chinese-style dishes.

Sakura had asked Tomoyo why she had changed her tastes, but Tomoyo brushed it off, and Sakura never asked the question again.

The classmates only knew that Tomoyo always arrived early, but they didn't think much of it. Sakura always entered the classroom a few seconds before the bell rang, so she wasn't aware that Tomoyo arrived early.

And so, everyone except the person involved was kept in the dark. By the way, Tomoyo's mother, Daidouji Sonomi, also knew, but this mother not only didn't object, she supported Tomoyo, and even gave her advice.

Sakura was very happy today. When she entered the classroom, all the students could feel that Sakura seemed especially happy.

Tomoyo quickly learned from Sakura why Sakura was so happy.

It turns out that Sakura's father had finished his work and wanted to reward his two children for helping him with the housework these past few days. So he personally cooked a sumptuous dinner.

Hiroyuki smiled when he found out, and continued organizing the textbooks. Tomoyo had originally wanted to do these things for him, but Hiroyuki refused.

Just as Sakura was sharing her joy, Takashi Yamazaki arrived.

Takashi Yamazaki relayed the music teacher's message to Tomoyo: "Please go to the music room after school today."

Sakura seemed to know something and asked, "Is it related to the competition?"

Tomoyo smiled and replied, "Yes."

Takashi Yamazaki added, "The choir members have to practice until very late; it's really tough for them."

Sakura asked, "Can I watch you practice? The theme song you sang yesterday was really good, I wish I could hear it again."

Sakura's suggestion was met with agreement from many people, and Tomoyo replied with a smile, "You are all very welcome."

When Tomoyo said this, she specifically glanced at Hiroyu Mikami. She hoped Hiroyu Mikami would also go and watch her practice.

Hiroyuki Mikami nodded helplessly, and Tomoyo, seeing that Hiroyuki Mikami had agreed, repeated, "You guys absolutely have to come!"

Yu Shenhao knew that Tomoyo's words were directed at him, so he glared at Tomoyo and then turned his gaze to the window.

After school, Hiroyuki Mikami followed Tomoyo and the rest of the group to the choir club. Upon opening the door, Sakura realized they were a bit early. She suggested, "Is Tomoyo-sensei here yet? Why don't you sing yesterday's theme song for me?"

Sakura's suggestion was echoed by Chiharu and the rest of the class, but Tomoyo hesitated and said, "It's possible, but..."

"But what happened?"

"The teacher didn't come, so there was no piano accompaniment."

This was indeed a problem. After Tomoyo said those words, Hiroyu Mikami sensed something was off. Sure enough, Sakura's next words confirmed Hiroyu Mikami's feeling.

"Haoyu isn't very good at playing the piano anymore. How about letting Haoyu play?" Sakura thought that Yu Shen Haoyu could also play the piano. At the beginning of last semester, he would always play the piano for a while during breaks, but he stopped playing for some reason later.

"That's right, doesn't Haoyu play the piano?" Chiharu thought of it after hearing Sakura's suggestion.

Mikami Hiroyu glared at Tomoyo, who returned a playful wink.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade him otherwise, Yu Shenhaoyu had no choice but to accept his fate. After opening the piano, he asked, "What do you want to play?"

Sakura pondered for a moment, "I don't know anything about the piano, but aren't there sheet music on the piano? I can just play according to that."

Yu Shenhao nodded, and upon looking at the sheet music, he saw it was "Für Elise." "Für Elise" is a piece that every piano beginner must learn, and Yu Shenhao figured that it was probably something a beginner had used and then forgotten to put back.

After testing the tone a few times, Yu Shenhaoyu played "Für Elise" without even looking at the sheet music.

Yu Shenhao is at least a genius who can out-teach a piano master in two days, so it's a bit ridiculous that he needs to look at sheet music to play "Für Elise".

Sakura, Tomoyo, and their classmates who came with them all realized why Hiroyu Mikami was called the Piano Prince the moment he started playing the piano. Because the moment Hiroyu Mikami started playing, everyone's perception of him changed instantly.

When Yu Shenhao plays the piano, he exudes an air of elegance and nobility. Although everyone has heard the piece before, why does Yu Shenhao's version sound so exceptionally beautiful, captivating listeners and drawing them in completely?

Tomoyo's feelings were even more pronounced. She knew the story behind "Für Elise," and in Mikami Hiroyu's piece, Tomoyo felt as if she were Alice in the story, and Mikami Hiroyu was the male protagonist. For a moment, Tomoyo was intoxicated and mesmerized.

After Yu Shenhao finished playing "Für Elise," he noticed that everyone present seemed completely absorbed. He sighed inwardly, "Looks like my skills haven't deteriorated after all."

A few minutes later, the students gradually came to their senses. Looking at Hiroyuki Mikami sitting at the piano, one of them praised, "Hiroyuki, you play so well! Even better than the teacher! Right, Tomoyo, Sakura?"

Tomoyo and Sakura seemed to have been woken up and chimed in: "Yeah, yeah, Hiroyu plays really well."

Yu Shen Haoyu pressed a piano key with his left hand and said, "Actually, it's not as good as you all say. Hello, teacher!"
